I just heard this news brief on EWTN.

Mel has also decided to use subtitles in his movie.

     news brief on EWTN

Not really a ping, just an FYI as reported by EWTN.

How many days kstew?  ;-)   I am really looking forward to the release... I am self-appointed coordinator of a *big* family night out (hubby, sibs, nieces, nephews); the subtitles will help garner the attention of the otherwise disinclined young 'ens.

The idea of a well-done, big budget movie finally strictly adhering to the Bible events it's portraying is one long overdue. I am a bit disappointed about the subtitles though. I bet they'll be optional on the DVD.

Let the masses who don't bother to read really see what happened. Let those non-reading Christians truly appreciate what Christ did for them spiritually. Let non-Christians at least truly appreciate what a great man he was and what he did -- the immense faith he had and sacrifice he endured for his beliefs. He can be a model for anyone, regardless of religion.

I cannot wait to see this movie, and I'm an atheist.

God bless Mel!!!!

The "no subtitles" concept was intriguing, but I'd always expected that in the end, he'd have to add subtitles.
